This isn't going to be long, just enough to document that I'm feeling so emotional right now. My class did so so much for me today, I don't know what to say. They knew for me for a month, yet they give me presents when I leave, write entire notes of farewell, and decorate the entire classroom in a surprise party for me, and make a video about the taikusai for me. I cried after the video, just because of how far they went for me. They didn't have to do anything, they could've just Sayyid goodbye. But they did this out out their own will. They did it because they liked me as a person, in only one month. They compiled a note of farewell for each person in the class, and some people other notes after that. My friends gave me a photo album of our adventures we had. I am just so overcome with emotion right now because these are the people I may never see again. These people that like me so much address the ones I'm leaving. I'm sad, and that's obvious. Today was the last day of school so it was tough. Though after the last day of school I walked around with two classmates and ate bread in a park, listening to little kids play around. And after that, I meet with two other classmates to go to a local festival. Apparently I'm good at dancing in festivals. However, luckily, I have created a LINE account, which is pretty much Japanese Facebook messenger. So I can talk to the class when I get back to the states. Because I really can't convey how amazing my class is. And what on earth I did to deserve this.
Oh and on the last day of tests, a couple of students took me on a walking tour of Yokohama, which involved going to a restaurant and two different parks, one of which was used for the ghibli movie "from up on poppy hill".
Lastly, I was making a food post, but an hour and a half into it, the AP froze and I lost everything. So I'm sorry.
See you soon.

Maybe you can plan a reunion when you come back next June with your family.
